Security Not working.

Question

a!isUserMemberOfGroup(
 username: loggedInUser(), 
 groups: cons!IP_GRP_RECRUITERS
) 
 
 So this above code i gave it so that that particular field is visible to the specific user from the specific group only, but its not working when i gave it in a read only grid. This code did work in the normal interface and it only showed the particular field to the particular user of specific group only , but when i gave it in the read only interface, its not working. What anyone help me with what might be the issue.

In a read-only grid, you need to apply the showWhen parameter to the grid column itself, not to fields inside the column. a!gridColumn(
 label: "Column Name",
 value: fv!row.fieldName,
 showWhen: a!isUserMemberOfGroup(
 username: loggedInUser(),
 groups: cons!IP_GRP_RECRUITERS
 )
) Or You can use field level security on record. https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/25.1/field-level-security.html

Define the local variable before using it in the grid column. Use the same condition that was previously inline. Reference the variable in the showWhen parameter 
 a!localVariables(
 local!textField,
 local!isDisplay: a!isUserMemberOfGroup(
 username: loggedInUser(),
 groups: cons!ACM_GRP_ADMINS
 ),
 /*Replace this with your grid*/
 a!textField(
 label: "Field",
 value: local!textField,
 saveInto: local!textField,
 showWhen: local!isDisplay
 )
)

You cant put a showhen in a local but you can put a local variable inside a showWhen! You need to declare a local variable with the condition or function then put that local variable against showhen of the field you want to evaluate visibility for!
